No, no,

I try to make some menu that would be on all forum pages. I will make it with the normal forum index that bbpress have on the main page.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
What bbPress forum did you create ? So if you edit your forum /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum is the ‘visibility’ under ‘Forum Attributes’ set correctly ? Try to switch it if needed with an ‘update’ in between.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, I’m sorry but I have no idea what you try to do, but as you talk about forums and subforums without forums, you might mean that you want an extra level ?
Maybe you look for Categories > Forums > Subforums ?
Then look at https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/configuring-bbpress/creating-content/#creating-a%c2%a0forum

If not, just come back and explain again.

Hi,
Start from the function itself and see how it was done ?

I’m running a WordPress Multisite install and have bbPress setup on the main site. However, logged-in users can’t access the main forum. Admins and guests can see them, which doesn’t seem to make sense. Users can see group forums, but not the main page, they just get a page not found error. I’ve even tried creating the forums page and adding the shortcodes, but still get the same error.

New users are supposed to have the participant roll, which I’ve checked. I’ve also tried repairing the forums, but nothing works.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

I see a (very) similar request on the buddypress forum. It also seems that BuddyPress updated some days ago (March 2, 2016). Do you think you have these issues since that upgrade ?

Pascal.

Hi anyone and everyone,

Im just wondering why bbpress displays participants real name instead of their username by default? I want to change this as I can’t remember ever seeing a site before where you create a username for it not to be used, even this bbpress support forum shows usernames!

I see topics on this matter going back 4+ years, and still its the same solution, why?

So why is it that we have to edit code to achieve this? It should at least be a simple edit in the admin area.

[amongstlovelythings]

Thanks!

I did deactivate all but bbpress- and the search bar was fixed. I re-enabled them one at a time, and found that BuddyPress was causing the error.

I then switched to the default theme twentyfifteen, but the search bar completely disappeared when I did that…

So now I’m back on the Beautiful theme for Genesis.

Also– FYI, the search bar was working beautifully about 3 or 4 days ago. This is a new problem that just started within the last couple of days.

[rossagrant]

I too have deleted every trace of BBPress AND ALL BBPress roles, yet still see this additional capability in the backend.

Anyone know how to get rid or of any MySQL functions to cleans the DB?

Thanks in advance!

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[deadtomorrow]

Can anyone recommend a plugin for making it easier to create threads on bbPress? E.g. create a thread from anywhere on the site.

Just want something to make it easier for new people to create threads as they’re unlikely to find the form at the foot of the forum.

Thanks 🙂

[MarcGuay]

Hi. I realize this is an ancient thread but I came across this problem today. domain.com/wp-login.php redirects to the homepage after successful login instead of the admin panel. domain.com/wp-admin redirects to the admin panel because of the automatic addition of the “redirect_to” variable to the URL.

WP 4.4.2
bbpress v2.5.8
Theme: twentyeleven

[Robkk]

You can also use this PHP function to add a class to the forum instead of doing it manually.

function rkk_add_forum_classes( $classes ) {
 $classes[] = 'class';
 return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_class','rkk_add_forum_classes' );

Now I would like to change while loop_forums in index forums on loop-forums.php

I do not know exactly what you are trying to do, but for just customizing it you can put the loop-forums.php file in a child theme in a folder called bbpress and then customize the file to your liking.

[selenii]

No I have not the bbpress moderation plugin, but I have some comment blacklist, I have add “http” and “wwww” as a blacklist, because I wanted to block all span replies.

[Robkk]

@selenii

1. Are you using the plugin bbPress moderation?? This plugin has a feature to confirm each topic or reply submitted by users.
2. Do you have anything in your comment blacklist in Settings > Discussion?? bbPress uses this comment blacklist for its topics and replies and this could mark the posts as pending until approval.

Sometimes plugins can add words to this comment blacklist, and sometimes a host can install a plugin that may have its own comment blacklist words that you may not be aware of is installed because it may be installed in the root of your site.

Do these posts you are approving have any foul language?? Because that is usually the words in these comment blacklists.

Unfortunately that didn’t work. I switched the code and while it still included a sidebar with stuff, it was a sidebar with all sorts of crazy stuff about a page long.

So, I acted as if I was starting over and I copied my page.php file and resaved it as bbpress.php in my main theme folder. The result of this was a page with no sidebar anywhere in my forum since this template does not include any sidebar info.

So do I:
a) keep the page.php file that I renamed to bbpress.php and just add some code (I would need directions) to include the sidebar on all bbpress pages.
b) revert back to my previous page an keep troubleshooting this issue with the page template that i know works aside from the topics page.

Here is the code from the page.php page that I renamed to bbpress.php, which looks great but does not display my sidebar on any forum page.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php 
// check for WooCommerce. If true, load WooCommerce custom layout
if (class_exists('woocommerce') && ((is_woocommerce() == "true") || (is_checkout() == "true") || (is_cart() == "true") || (is_account_page() == "true") )){ ?>

</div><!-- header-area -->
</div><!-- end rays -->
</div><!-- end header-holder -->
</div><!-- end header -->

<?php truethemes_before_main_hook(); //action hook ?>

<div id="main" class="tt-woocommerce">
<?php get_template_part('theme-template-part-tools-woocommerce','childtheme'); ?>

<div class="main-holder">
<div id="content">
<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); the_content(); truethemes_link_pages(); endwhile; endif; 
comments_template('/page-comments.php', true); ?>
</div><!-- end content -->

<div id="sidebar" class="right_sidebar">
<?php 
		if ( (is_cart() == "true") || (is_checkout() == "true") ) {
			dynamic_sidebar("WooCommerce - Cart + Checkout");
		} else {
			dynamic_sidebar("WooCommerce Sidebar");
		}
		?>
</div><!-- end sidebar -->
</div><!-- end main-holder -->
</div><!-- main-area -->
  
  
  <?php // ELSE load default layout
  } else { ?>
  
</div><!-- header-area -->
</div><!-- end rays -->
</div><!-- end header-holder -->
</div><!-- end header -->

<?php truethemes_before_main_hook();// action hook, see truethemes_framework/global/hooks.php ?>

<div id="main">

<?php get_template_part('theme-template-part-tools','childtheme'); ?>

<div class="main-holder">
<div id="content" class="content_full_width">
<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); the_content(); truethemes_link_pages(); endwhile; endif; 
comments_template('/page-comments.php', true);
get_template_part('theme-template-part-inline-editing','childtheme'); ?>
</div><!-- end content -->
</div><!-- end main-holder -->
</div><!-- main-area -->
  
  
  <?php // END WooCommerce loop
  } ?>
    
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks!

Ok, so the code above is from your page.php file saved as bbpress.php in your theme – yes?

NO, and that may be the issue? What I did is copy one of my other theme pages that I know included a sidebar, let’s just call it “page-with-leftsidebar.php”. I copied this page into my child folder and renamed it bbPress.php and that’s the code I posted above.

I can gladly try your suggestion above, but could it be that I used the wrong page to create my bbPress.php file? I did install the “What The File” plugin and when I look at what page my forum points to, including new topics, they all show bbpress.php as the main page with other things listed in the Template Parts section.

Anyhow…let me try your suggestion above with that piece of code and report back before i have you on an wild goose chase for no reason.

Thanks!!! Will report back shortly.

[Robin W]

The “blank space” where it goes is still there, it just does not display.

Great – that was the bit of information I was after.

Ok, so the code above is from your page.php file saved as bbpress.php in your theme – yes?

If so then try changing

<?php generated_dynamic_sidebar(); ?>

to

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

This may not work, I’m just guessing at how your theme is designed !

[stewmills]

Robin (thanks for always coming to my rescue),

Everything on the page is good except the sidebar is missing. I can add it via dashboard if I edit the topic, but I cannot do this every time someone posts a new topic. All other pages have the sidebar.

I tried to move my bbpress.php to the main theme directory to ensure that it was picking up this page before any other page and that changed nothing. I then thought maybe there was code in my page.php file from the initial load of bbpress that it might be looking for so I copied the page.php file from my theme and resaved it as bbpress.php and still no difference.

I don’t really care that my forum is exactly like the layout of my other site pages so I am ok with some variation. My only requirements would be that (1) I can keep the header menu for navigation back to my main site and (2) I have the sidebar on any bbpress forum pages, specifically new topics in this situation.

Forgive me for rambling, just trying to offer what I have tried and as well my flexibility.

Would it be better for me to just make a new page template and tell it to pull in the sidebar on all pages versus using a template from the theme that included a sidebar?

I am open to suggestions, but might need to be spoon fed a little to ensure I am following all of the appropriate steps.

Many thanks!

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

Sure there is: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/reply-threading/

Please note the bottom 2 small ‘issues’.

Pascal.

[_az_]

@siparker thanks for posting the link to the Permalinks with id plugin. I have looked into it and the logic for adding text to a permalink seems less complicated than the logic for replacing parts of the permalink.

However, good news may be: it is possible that i will work on that feature for a client.

Probably not the full scope of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258 but it may be a good start.

If this is decided, then i’d like to propose its development on github as an public bbpress-plugin and i’d happily collaborate with other devs on the issue.

[neecride]

Thank you !

I found the file in part !!

Now I would like to change while loop_forums in index forums on loop-forums.php

exemple : http://gauge.wpengine.com/forums/

i does not use shortcode I create a forum page and i edit the default page in bbpress folder on my folder template !

translated by google !!

[amongstlovelythings]

When BuddyPress is active on my site, the bbPress Search Widget does not work. It just displays the default home page rather than search results.

Please advise if there is a fix for this. Forum search is an absolute necessity for us.

Forum URL: http://forum.amongstlovelythings.com
bbPress: Version 2.5.8
BuddyPress: Version 2.5.0

Thank you.

[stewmills]

Thanks Robin! At my present state of bbpress experience this may be a bit over my head. I made a list of the forum pages in my sidebar as well as a link to Forum Home and will just use that as the way back to the forum main page. Maybe as I get more experience I will come back and revisit this later.

[Robin W]

sorry still don’t understand.
